We cannot prevent death. But what we can do is to facilitate it.
Salam 'alaikum. Salam buat semua.
I've just started my summer clerkship/ elective posting/ practical lah senang cerita at a Paediatrics department.
And the "suasana" in the ward, peh. Memang tak mampu nak berkata apa-apa.
Kids running and jumping around, babies crying everywhere.
But I guess that's the beauty of any Paediatrics department. Mungkin lahh.
Wad Paediatrik di Malaysia agak berbeza konsepnya daripada wad Paediatrik di Warsaw, di mana setiap wad adalah department Paediatrik yang berbeza.
Di sini, semua pesakit, semua kes akan masuk wad sama.
Maka berbagailah ragam riang ria ceria kanak-kanak yang dapat dilihat.
It's indescribable. Really.
Seeing new life being welcomed to the world, the joy, at one end of the ward.
While at the other end, seeing life waiting to be ended with acceptance.
But that's life. I guess.
And so, the doctor told me; "
We cannot prevent death. But what we can do is to facilitate it. For both, the patient and the family".
And the hardest part is to accept.
And to accept, one must first understand.
And to understand, one needs a heart.
A heart that knows where to turn to in times of joy and grief.
Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiuun.
Dari Allah kita datang, dan kepadaNya kembalinya kita.
Sungguh. KepadaNya lah kembalinya kita.
Hanya itu yang dapat saya ungkapkan tatkala menerima berita pemergian seorang sahabat.
I may not know her well.
I may not see her often.
But the brief moments I get to know her are enough for me to know what a person we would all be missing.
Mungkin di situlah letaknya nikmat bertemu kerana kasihkan dan sama-sama mencari redhaNya.
Moga Allah berkati.
Moga Allah terima amalannya dan amalan kita.
Harapan saya agar dapat bertemu kembali di Jannah yang abadi.
Moga damailah di sana, dalam dakapan kasih sayang Allah Yang Maha Agung.
ps: Sungguhlah. Kematian itu peringatan. Buat kita semua. Moga Allah kurniakan kita semua dengan husnul khatimah.
